Overview

janusSEAL Documents extends janusNET’s user-centric software offerings by providing tools for the user to apply protective markings to Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents.

The increasing porosity of an organisation’s perimeter is best addressed by giving the author or owner of a document, tools to classify or label the document with its sensitivity. They are best placed to understand the contents of the document and thus, its value to the organisation. The classification label is available to solutions such as content filters, email gateways and document management systems to enforce security, privacy or information management policies for appropriate transmission, encryption, retention and archival.

Features

• Simple to use: User-friendly interface that enables complex business processes of information classification and management. Presents the user with simple choices for classification labels. Enables easy compliance with security policy.

• Flexible and policy driven: Allows users to use classification labels and qualifiers that are configurable to the organisation’s security policy. The organisation’s classification scheme can be centrally administered via Microsoft Group Policy.

• Easily retrofit metadata to existing documents: Conveniently search for and replace text classification labels in headers, footers or the body of a document with field codes that reference classification metadata.

• Manage visibility of classification labels: Allows the user to control placement of classification labels in headers and footers, as well as in the body of the document.

• Enable outbound content filtering: Tight integration with janusSEAL for Outlook allows emails to inherit the security classifications of their attachments. This reduces the possibility of error and assists users in ensuring appropriate classification of emails, all the while providing granular metadata for content filters to use to enforce security policies. Confidential data can now be automatically encrypted or delivered via other secure channels.

• Measure your organisation’s security posture: Allows organisations to measure the behavior of their workforce with regards the appropriate handling of sensitive information. Logs attempts to change the metadata directly, thereby providing tamper evidence.

• Simple to administer: Centrally deployed via Microsoft Group Policy or similar.
